memories intact and an entire mythology is born. The Rogue Angels used the mortal’s confusion to their advantage and started a war with Heaven. That certainly was a mess to clean up. Just because Hades is the Overseer of the Realms and they don’t see me on a daily basis, they suddenly think he’s in charge. As if he could possibly want or do the job,” Lucifer rolled his eyes.
Hades stiffened even more. He regained his composure quickly. “It was more than just a few souls and it was indeed a mess that took forever to clean up, and no, I certainly don’t want your job. I did like the title and the prestige though,” Hades shrugged at the thought of being considered a god.
“Prestige, hardly, the foolish mortals thought you oversaw all the souls, good and bad. Lord of the Underworld, how poetic, and yet they call me the devil. They had no love for you either way,” Lucifer sighed.
“Yes, fun times, but enough about me, when did you arrive, my dear?” Hades stared intently at Michelle, getting over his initial shock.
Lucifer cut off Michelle before she could answer. “Not long ago. I was just explaining things before she gets to work,” Lucifer smiled at the innuendo, making it obvious that Hades hadn’t distracted him from his previous lust filled thoughts.
“Work. Of course. I’m sure you will learn to…well…barely tolerate it here, just like the rest of us. My Lord, as I said, you are needed in the Hall of Winds. I’ll meet you there after I handle yet another crisis,” Hades snickered and turned on his heel. He quickly left the Throne Room, possibly muttering to himself.
“Caleb!” Lucifer shouted. Caleb ran into the room from the front entrance and knelt in front of Lucifer before his name had died from Lucifer’s lips.
Caleb was average in height with short brown hair and dull blue eyes. He looked like he’d recently survived a beating and apparently was missing his tongue. She hoped it wasn’t the standard punishment for disobedient servants or her day was going to get a whole lot worse.
“Take my mistress to her room and see that she doesn’t leave. I will be back shortly. I’ve waited this long. I want to make sure there are no more interruptions,” Lucifer said as he handed the dress to Caleb.
“Mistress? Why do you keep calling me that? My name is Michelle Black,” Michelle frowned as Caleb grabbed her arm, trying to drag her out of the Throne Room.
“Because, my dear, that is your new name. You are no longer Michelle Black. You will forever be known as my mistress. Be dressed and ready by the time I return,” Lucifer smiled, which looked more like he was bearing his teeth.
Michelle or Mistress now, though she would be led through the covered bridge to the rotunda and into the main castle, but instead was dragged through the door to the right of the dais. Caleb was pulling her through the heavy wooden door before she found her legs and started speed walking on her own. They descended a narrow enclosed spiral stone staircase and descended lower into Lucifer’s tower. She had to hold on to the inner wall to keep from falling. They passed a number of doors on the interior of the staircase. She had no idea what was behind the doors, nor did she want to find out.
Caleb finally stopped at a door with a symbol on it, a crescent moon with its ends pointed up to the sky. There was a rounded sun with sunbursts above it and clouds above the sun. She had no idea what it meant, but feared the worst since she had never stood in front of the door before. She wondered how many more new and interesting places she had failed to see in her dreams.
He opened the door with a wave of his hand and dragged her inside. It was a small round room with the same black stone walls that ran throughout the castle. The floor wasn’t made of marble, but black stone. There was a large bed with black silk sheets, which took up
